During the presidential campaign, they were everywhere.

But one month before the first round of the June legislative elections, the polls and projections are few.

And for good reason: they represent a headache for the institutes and remain risky.

The political offer is different in the 577 constituencies”.

Technical constraints arise, such as the impossibility of precisely questioning all the constituencies, in particular those of French people living abroad, or the absence of definitive lists since the deadline for applications is set for May 20.
